This shit isn't just political. It's disgusting. A man is celebrated for mental illness and considered brave for dressing up like a woman. It's nasty as fuck and any company who promotes it should go out of business as far as I'm concerned.

I won't be back until the top people at AB are living in a cardboard box having to suck dick for moldy bread to eat.

Fuck them and everyone else who champions this shit.

Saw this at my grocery store yesterday. Doesn’t seem like selling your product at 50% off is normal. I’d say the boycott is working pretty well.

Other brands have a rebate, too.  Just not as high of a % as Bud.

No. Their solution is to reap what they have sown. An example for all others.

You embrace tranny shit, and you burn your brand into the ground never to return. Reap it, you salted the earth of your brand and customers.

Your field is now barren and your customers give zero fucks.

Think about how bad you need to miss the target when it comes to beer. For drunks, hard-party goers, goons, and the everyday dad-bods to drop your beer like a bad habit (pun)…

Having a particular beer is like being a fish in water, one goes with the other, so for them to just drop your ass…you really messed up.

lets be honest, all of AB's beers are very forgettable.
Loyal customers buy the stuff cause its their brand, their beer of choice, they buy it out of habit.
Once they move on to another beer I don't see them going back.
They fall into the same old rut but with a different beer.

BL has zero flavor... It is completely forgotten after the hangover passes.

Beer is a 100% commodity and there is zero reason for consumer brand loyalty.

That's not really them admitting what they did was wrong though ... because we have found out that they are pushing that entire spectrum of destruction and sickness inside their company, intentionally, and they are apparently going to be dealing with a discrimination suit for their hiring practices.

That is really what sealed with the deal and caused the downfall of Bud Light.  She acted all snobbish in the video that she was mandated to change the brands image from the terrible customers it was known for.  Her smugness showed she had already taken actions to do that.  So then when they try to claim Dylan came from a 3rd party marketing firm that did it on their and no one at AB knew about it, that was an obvious lie.  AB also never apologized for insulting their customer base.  The most they said was "we didn't mean to be divisive".  In what scenario is insulting your customer base not divisive?  The CEO is clueless, out of touch, or just plain dishonest.

At this point even an apology is too late and won't do anything.  They have lied too many times for anyone to care or believe anything they say.  They need to clean house as was mentioned.  Officially fire the VP, her boss, the CEO, anyone on her staff that knew about it, and name the marketing company that was used and that they are fired.  Then apologize for the VPs insults to the customer base.  Then the new CEO can apologize for the train wreck stating that the VPs mandate was to expand the market for the beer and she clearly failed to do that.  Dylan doesn't even need to be mentioned.  He can end with he wants Bud Light to be an American beer that everyone is welcomed to enjoy.  That would be a good starting point.

It was bad beer. But it was a great brand and that brand was so strong that a mediocre beer was the best selling beer in America.

Now former Budweiser drinkers are trying new beers. Many of them will realize now that other beers are tastier and better.

These former Bud drinkers will never come back.

It's also impossible for AB to apologize at this late date.  Any apology will seem insincere. Had AB immediately apologized and fired everybody involved, then the situation was fixable. But not now

Is the rep a direct AB employee or does he work for the distributor?

Beer distributors are independent, not owned by AB, correct?

I'm sure the rumor mill is working overtime on this subject, especially for the reps selling the swill.
